Title: Recurve Identification Help
Post by: Sibleymd on January 30, 2023, 06:08:51 PM

Looking for some help. I just received a recurve bow and I'm trying to identify the make and model. The only identification marks are the draw pounds, length, and what I assume is a serial number??

Could be wrong but it looks like an old Ben Pearson to me .  Possibly an old Colt ...

RH 300. That's the one! Thank you guys! I'm going to hold on to this one. I'm new to trad, but want to explore it more.
